From Publishers Weekly
With its conventional plot and cookie-cutter protagonists, Robins's Regency-era debut doesn't break any new ground, but fans of romance-cum-espionage adventures will take pleasure in the characters' easy banter and daring escapades. James Morgan, a duke who is now spying for the Crown, finds himself in a quandary after he mistakes sweet, charitable Charlotte Hastings for a traitorous thief intent on financing Napoleon's restoration to power. James intends to wring a confession from Charlotte during a weekend party, but when he is caught in her room, he claims she's his betrothed in order to save her reputation. Believing James may be a traitor, Charlotte initially refuses to go along with his charade, so he kidnaps her and endures several groin injuries before the avuncular General Cumseby, a friend to both, sets the matter to rights. Though the two no longer suspect one another, they still have their pretend betrothal, which proves useful as they join forces to ferret out the real villain. James and Charlotte spend as much time working together as they do arguing, but their silent caring for one another shines through even when they're at odds. Neither a humorous romp nor a saga, this will appeal to readers who enjoy steely heroes and strong-willed heroines who give as good as they get.

Book Description
Miss Charlotte Hastings may be an innocent, but she is uncommonly prudent, which is why she will settle for nothing less than absolute integrity in a husband. But when James Morgan, the devastatingly seductive Duke of Girard, rescues her from a midnight attacker during a house party -- leaving the two caught tousled in her bedroom -- she goes along with the duke's impulsive proclamation of marriage, for now. Her reputation may be saved, but she will not let her heart be trifled with so quickly. Though he may be the ton's most captivating male, he is definitely hiding something, and Charlotte is determined to uncover the truth -- without falling for the dashing duke's sinful charms.
James is certain the beguiling Charlotte holds the key to a traitorous conspiracy, and he will stop at nothing to expose the scheme -- even if it means claiming her for his bride. but his exquisite | | | |
